KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE

Irregular operation
Depending on the versions, when the
system detects irregular operation, an
appropriate message will appear on the
instrument panel along with the alarm
warning light
and an acoustic
signal going off every 5 seconds.
Contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
56)This function is an auxiliary driving aid
with acoustic signals to indicate that you
are approaching an obstacle while
manoeuvring. However, this does exempt
the driver from normal driving alertness nor
from liability in the event of an accident
while manoeuvring. The driver must always
be ready to face any unexpected situations
that could occur when driving. Before
starting a manoeuvre, specifically check for
any moving obstacles (such as a child,
animal, bicycle, stone, pole, etc.) or
obstacles in the blind spot that are too
small to be detected.
57)Parking and other potentially
dangerous manoeuvres are, however,
always the driver’s responsibility. When
performing these operations, always make
sure that there are no other people
(especially children) or animals on the route
you want to take. The parking sensors are
an aid for the driver, but the driver must
never allow their attention to lapse during
potentially dangerous manoeuvres, even
those executed at low speeds.
IMPORTANT
13)In the event of a collision while
manoeuvring the vehicle (e.g. hitting a
bollard, raised pavement or any other street
furniture), the vehicle could be damaged
(e.g. deformed axle). To prevent any risk of
accident, have the vehicle checked at a Fiat
Dealership.
14)The sensors must be clean of mud,
dirt, snow or ice in order for the system to
operate correctly. Be careful not to scratch
or damage the sensors while cleaning
them. Avoid using dry, rough or hard
cloths. The sensors should be washed
using clean water with the addition of car
shampoo if necessary. When using special
washing equipment such as high pressure
jets or steam cleaning, clean the sensors
very quickly keeping the jet more than
10 cm away.
15)Only have the bumpers repainted or
any retouches to the paintwork in the area
of the sensors carried out by a Fiat
Dealership. Incorrect paint application
could affect the Radar parking operation.

Manufacture
The vehicle's manufacture has been
carried out at an industrial factory that
applies advanced procedures aimed at
environmental impact reduction with
respect to the inhabitants and nature in
the surrounding areas (reduction of
water and power consumption,
atmospheric and water emissions,
disposal and evaluation of waste).
Emissions
While it is being used, the vehicle was
designed to emit a lower quantity of
greenhouse gasses (CO
2) and
therefore lower consumption (ex.:
170 g/km amounts to 6.4 l/100 km for
a Diesel vehicle).
Moreover, the cars are equipped with
anti-pollution systems such as the
catalytic exhaust, oxygen sensor, etc.
For some vehicles, this system is
rounded out with an anti-particulate
filter that allows a reduction in particle
emissions.
Respecting the environment
Used and replaced parts on sale during
regular servicing (battery, oil filter, air
filter, batteries, etc.) and oil tanks (both
empty and full of used oil) must be
delivered to specialised waste disposal
consortiums.To hand the vehicle over at the end of
its life without extra cost, contact one of
our dealerships if you are purchasing
another vehicle or an FCA-authorised
collection and scrapping centre. These
centres have been carefully chosen to
offer high quality service for the
collection, treatment and recycling of
vehicles at their end of life, respecting
the surrounding environment.
Recyclability
The vehicle is 85% recyclable and 95%
recoverable.
To achieve these aims, several of the
vehicle's parts have been designed so
they can be recycled. The structure and
materials have been especially studied
to facilitate dismantling of these
components and their re-treatment in
specific chains.
In order to preserve raw material
resources, the vehicle incorporates
several parts in recycled plastic or
renewable materials (plant or animal like
cotton or wool).
DIESEL VERSION
PARTICULARITIES
88)
18)
Engine speed
Diesel engines are equipped with an
injection system that does not let the
engine exceed a certain number of
revs, no matter what gear is engaged.
If you see the message "Anti-pollution
control" with the warning light
and
the alarm light, contact a Fiat
Dealership immediately.
While driving, depending on the fuel
type used, in exceptional cases the
vehicle might emit white smoke.
This is due to the automatic
regeneration of the anti-particulate filter
and has no consequences on the
vehicle's performance.
Complete lack of fuel
When refuelling after completely using
up all fuel, you need to restore the fuel
circuit: refer to the "Refuelling the
vehicle" paragraph before restarting the
engine.
Engine smoke level label
The information (1) will be shown on the
label A fig. 161 in the engine
compartment.

Warning light What it means
ALARM WARNING LIGHT
When the starter device is brought to MAR, the warning light switches on, but it should switch off as soon as the
engine is started. If it turns on together with other warning lights/messages on the instrument panel, you need to
drive carefully to the Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
Lack of respect for this rule puts the vehicle at risk of being damaged.
AdBlue (Urea) ADDITIVE LEVEL AND EXHAUST GAS REDUCTION SYSTEM OPERATION FAULTS
See the information in the "AdBlue (Urea) additive tank" paragraph.
INJECTION / EOBD SYSTEM FAILURE
For vehicles thus equipped, it turns on when you start the engine, this it goes off:
if it stays on, contact a Fiat Dealership;
if it flashes, you need to reduce the engine running until the flashing stops. Contact a Fiat
Dealership.
Refer to the “Protecting the environment” paragraph in the “Knowing your vehicle” chapter.
DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)/ TRACTION CONTROL FAILURE
It goes on when the starter device is inserted and goes off after a few seconds.
This light turns on in various circumstances: refer to the "Active safety systems” paragraph in the “Safety” chapter.
ABS FAILURE
It goes on when the starter device is inserted and goes off after a few seconds. If it goes on while driving, it means
there is a malfunction in the ABS system. In this case the braking system maintains its efficiency unaltered but
without the advantage of the ABS system. Consult a Fiat Dealership.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE WARNING LIGHT
When the starter device is inserted, it goes on with a blue light.
If it turns red, you need to stop the car and let the motor idle for one or two minutes.
The temperature should go down and the light turns blue. Otherwise, stop the engine. Let it cool before checking
the coolant liquid temperature.

Interpreting some of the displayed
values after resetting
The further you travel after the last
reset, the more accurate and significant
the average fuel consumption,
autonomy and average speed become.
During the first kilometres travelled after
resetting, you will notice that the
autonomy increases as you travel. This
is because the system takes the
average fuel consumption since the last
reset into account. The average fuel
consumption can decrease when:
the vehicle is no longer accelerating;
the engine reaches operating
temperature (reset: cold engine);
going from urban to extra-urban
driving.
Automatic travel parameter reset
Reset is automatic when one of the
parameter's capacities is exceeded.
